| Theodore Ward Prize | Columbia CollegeChicago Tehater Center 72 E. 11th St. Chicago, IL 60605 |
An annual playwriting contest sponsored by Columbia College Chicago Theater Center, the Theodore Ward Prize for African-American Playwriting is nationally acclaimed for recognizing the outstanding individual accomplishments of African-American playwrights; along with their growing importance to the shape and direction of American drama in our time. Former contest winners have held a mirror up to a myriad of subject matters; the post-American Civil War Reconstruction experience, Negro League baseball in the 1940's, the 1930's Tuskegee syphilis experiments, along with the most recent winner, Ma Noah, by Mark Clayton Southers, exploring present day life on and off the streets of Philadelphia. The goals of the contest are as follows: To uncover and identify new African-American plays addressing the African-American experience that are promising and producible. To encourage and aid playwrights in the development of promising scripts. To offer an opportunity for emerging and established playwrights of African-American descent to be exposed to Chicago's professional theater community through staged readings and/or fully mounted productions. http://www.colum.edu/undergraduate/theater/workshops.php |
